Trapping the CEO Chapter 9
JLI am in the middle of the meeting and I can't concentrate. When I left, Gia was still sleeping. I lost count how many times I took her yesterday and even in the wee hours of the morning. If she's not able to walk properly when she wakes up — it's my fault. But I couldn't get enough of her.I don't understand anything in the presentation, but I acted like I am listening. I can always read my secretary's notes later. We have a French client that's very picky with the model he wants for the product. The endorser he wants is a woman with a certain beauty. No matter how many times he explained, he still didn't like any of our models. So my team brainstormed and presented their ideas today.Mr. Allaire wanted to branch out in the Philippines. They have several branches in the United States — particularly in New York and California. And last year, they opened one in Toronto. The construction here is ongoing, so they want to be prepared for the commercial. They have the money and we need t

FLASHBACK CONTINUED. . .HE gently nipped it before leaving it and reaching my lips for a kiss. JL's kiss was passionate and I couldn't help but put my arms around his neck. I pulled him closer to me. I couldn't get enough of him. We kissed for a few minutes that seemed like eternity, and when he left my mouth, I felt dizzy and lost with desire. His mouth found my other breast to give it equal attention, and as he stayed there for a while, I felt my back was not strong enough to support me.He awakened various emotions within me, and he felt the ache in my back. One of his hands was there, and when it left, it went to my stomach. He lightly pushed, and he laid me down on the table.JL kissed me on the lips again, and when he ended it, he looked at me while I was sprawled across the table."Beautiful," he whispered softly. nevertheless, I heard it and it gave me confidence no matter how small. Shame and excitement mingled together as I felt like a dish served before him. He kissed me o

GIAI drank cold water first before pressing the red button. “Sofia, can you call the finance department?" I asked my secretary."Do you need a report, Ma'am?" Sofia, one of my assistants and the oldest among them at forty-nine years old, asked. Despite her age, she's very quick on her feet and very well-organized."No. I need Kimberly Cueto in my office.""Yes, Ma'am.""Oh, and Sofia, can you call HR also? I need Leilani to be present when I talk to Kim. I need them here as soon as possible," I added. She was about to hang up the phone. Fortunately, she hadn't done so yet."No worries, Ma'am. I will call them now and ask them to come up here.""Thank you."After I spoke with Sofia, I called Cleo as well. I need her to be in the room. Kim has been in this company longer than I have. She's the same age as JL, so she was already here when my parents were still alive. She wants to be the financial chief and so far, I haven't seen any flaws in her work. It's just that her attitude sucks.

GIAAfter Cleo and I finished eating lunch, we returned to the office. I prepared my meeting with Mr. Soler in the boardroom. "Good afternoon, Mr. Soler. How are you I stood up and shook his hand as he approached. My secretary sat beside me to take notes. "I'm good, thank you. How are you?" he replied with a smile. He is in his late sixties and is acquainted with my father. He sat on the chair opposite me."Fine, thanks. Can I offer you something to drink? Coffee, tea, water?""Just water is fine," he responded. He unbuttoned his coat for comfort. I signaled my secretary to get some water. There is a built-in fridge in the conference room. The table was designed like a buffet table on the side because my father used to host dinners here. "So, let's get down to business," I said to him. We both opened the folders in front of us. "So, you have a new brandy and you wanted a commercial for it. Do you have any ideas in mind of how you want it to be?""I want something different," he c

UNKNOWN POVLook at the opportunity now. It feels like it was just yesterday when he was so timid and couldn't break a plate. Now, he's fierce and doesn't seem to accept anyone's criticism. Well, he is a Ganfornina after all. But rest assured, I will also get whatever he has.The person I am with is even more beautiful than him. Even I am more beautiful than him, so why did he choose him? I would give everything, except maybe if he's looking for a virgin, well, I can't give him that unless I fake a hymen.JL is mine. What's the point of writing love letters back then if he would end up with him? I know their marriage is only temporary. I overheard them talking in his office. I hear everything in his office, thanks to modern technology. And his stupid secretary, I just brought a report and she immediately trusted me and went to the washroom. What an opportunity. . . it's often on my side. And if he thinks he can catch me, the recording is gone. A slight touch in the security office was

GIATWO days later I went shopping with Cleo. She was so excited she almost tripped on the carpet. I went to pick her up, but she wasn't ready so I waited for her in the living room. JL went out with Rolf as he is leaving tomorrow morning.I was checking my phone, but there were no messages. I don't have a lot of contacts anyway so I just kept browsing on Facebook. High school was not something I want to remember because it was horrible. We all have to grow up sometime. The head of our student council at the time made a private group for our batch and everyone is added there — including me, much to my dismay.They are planning a reunion six months from now and they are looking for sponsors. Why do I have a feeling they would ask me? I don't even want to go."Hi stranger," a man with a baritone voice greeted me. It was Corbin."Hey," I got up to give him a hug. He stiffened and patted me in the back. "I haven't seen you in awhile. What are you doing here?" He has a place downtown, but

GIADAPHNE is friendly and we seem to hit it off well. She gave me side swept bangs and layered my hair so that it would be easier for me to blow dry it. I have to admit, I feel lighter with the hairstyle she did. She also suggested that if I was in a hurry, I can always dry it and put it in a messy bun. With my side swept bangs, it would look more sophisticated without trying.I didn't really want to color my hair, but she also suggested that I can get a few highlights, so she gave me some ash blondes here and there. It's barely noticeable now, but if I am out in the sun, it will be more visible. I like it. It's a big change for me. I mean, this whole thing is a total makeover.Our last stop is vision care. After I was tested, I was given contact lenses. I'm not sure how comfortable I would be using them all the time, so I asked for fashionable-looking eyeglasses too. Cleo picked out about ten pairs for me to try, and after eliminating the ones I didn't like, I was down to three. It

GIAJL came in no time. He was dressed casually and I know, he is not going to the office at all. Everyone was staring at him as he walked towards me but he only had eyes for me. The little bud between my legs pooled. Jeez. It’s scary how he affects me with just one look."Hey, hon!" he greeted me as he approached. The Dolce smell from him is enough to make my legs wobble."Hi. I'm sorry, did I disturb you? I was just despe—" I was cut off as we stood by the office door and he kissed me on the lips."You were saying?" His eyes narrowed.I hissed at him and whispered, "Why did you kiss me in front of these people? JL, this is a workplace.""Workplace or not, I will kiss my wife whenever I want."I gave him a stern look. When I glanced at the employees outside, some of them had heart-shaped eyes while the others looked jealous.When I looked back at him, I noticed a hint of lipstick on his lips. I wiped it away with my thumb and cleaned it. He had an amused look on his face."What time

PHILIPPINES | ONE MONTH LATERI am currently in a meeting when I started feeling a pang of stomach acidity. I had a bagel with cream cheese and black coffee this morning. I tried to ignore it, but it kept coming back and reached my throat. It feels like heartburn even though I don't have that condition. As a result, I developed a headache and started sweating coldly."Excuse me, everyone. I'm just going to the washroom," I said to them.When I reached the bathroom, I tried to vomit but nothing came out. I wonder what I ate that caused this stomach discomfort. Last night, we had chopsuey and grilled pork chops for dinner. I can't think of anything bad that I ate.I better visit the doctor. I have a driver, so I don't need to take a taxi. I'll just bring Gaia and her nanny to the clinic. I'm not sure about picking up the kids because I might take longer at the doctor's office. I called my husband.After a few rings, he picked up."Hon, is everything okay?" he asked."I don't feel well s

SEVEN YEARS LATER | NEW YORKThe years went by quickly and now JL and I have four children. Lawrence is our oldest and now six years old. He was followed by Genevieve, Georgina, and Gaia. Yes, I was pregnant every year. So we have a six, five, four, and three-year-old in the house. You would think that because we have a lot of money, we would have one nanny for all the kids. Nope. I like being hands-on as a mother. When I don't have work at the office, I take care of them all myself. Mornings are a bit of a challenge, but I wouldn't trade it for anything else. The sound of their laughter is like music to my ears, and when they bicker, it's like I want to send myself to a mental hospital and join Kim there.Kidding aside, being a wife and a mother of four kids is not an easy job. I still have to run Core and make it bigger. When the kids were still small, I took them to the office with me. Now that the first three are in school, only Gaia stays with me in the office, along with her na

CORBINMr. Guerrero looked bored, but JL continued telling his story. "If you had nothing to do with her death, why was she outside that night and came from your house?""I already got home and getting ready for bed when she called me and said she left her purse. That was about an hour after dropping her off. So I went to check in the car and her wallet was there. I told her I would drop it off tomorrow as I was tired, but Collette insisted that she would get it in my place instead. She said it would be a hassle for me and she also wanted to return my handkerchief. She said she already washed and dried it. When she came to the lobby that night, I gave her the purse, but someone called her and she forgot to return my handkerchief. I didn't really care much for it so I didn't remember it either. That was the last time I saw her. I swear on my wife's life, I did not touch Collette. Your daughter is a wonderful woman, Mr. Guerrero and I respected her. Please, let's not fight tonight and

GIAIs Collette Gillian? Was she killed by Jose Luis? There must be a mistake. She couldn't have done the things she's accused of. How could a woman kill JL and in New York, no less? When he goes out, he goes with Rolf, and he wouldn't abandon his friend. I wasn't there, and I don't know exactly what happened, but I do know that my husband won't kill anyone, let alone rape a woman.I looked at Cleo, and she was awake."I think you've got the wrong person, Sir. My husband wouldn't do that. And I'm sorry for what happened to your daughter. No one deserves that, even the worst person. But I really think my husband is not capable of doing something like that.""Oh? How well do you know your husband, Genovia Ganfornina?" he asked me. He signaled to one of his men. "Take her friend to the other room. I want to talk to this woman alone.""No! Gia!" Cleo struggled as two men carried her chair."Cleo, it's okay. I just need to talk to him. Sir, please don't hurt my friend.""She won't be harme

JL"That is not love, Kim. Put the gun down," trembling, he held his hand while I sweated, afraid he might suddenly pull the trigger."What do you mean it's not love?!" He still aimed the gun at me. Sometimes it's about Emma. "I even killed for you! Isn't that love? I removed the obstacles for us to be together, isn't that love?" He turned to Emma. "You bitch! You even got involved with this man even though you knew he's already married? You're a curse! Like you think you can take JL away from me? I'm the only one for him. He loves me! Not you! Not you! I won't allow him to end up with you after all this." He laughed loudly as if he had lost his mind. "I'll kill you just like I did with Gia. You're a worthless woman! You slut! Ahh!"In a split second, Emma jumped and kicked Kim's hand. The gun flew somewhere."You animal! Let go of me!" Kim continued screaming.Emma twisted Kim's hand and took handcuffs from her pocket. She read her the Miranda warning while Kim struggled on the floor

JLWe are currently in Attorney's office. Unknown to Kim, everything happening in this room is being recorded. I want all this chaos to end so that Gia and I can live peacefully. Corbin and I arrived at the same time, but Kim is not here yet. We don't think she got lost. Attorney said he called her earlier and gave her the office address. Where could that woman be? I was about to call her when the door suddenly opened. Unbelievable. Did she even have time to change clothes? Let's just pretend that this shit is real for one second. Does a real sister have time to change into revealing clothes while mourning?Luckily, Corbin is sitting next to me, otherwise she would have surely sat next to me. Attorney and Corbin are now seated on either side of me. "Sorry, I'm late everyone. The traffic is bad around this hour and I spilled juice on my clothes earlier. I haven't done laundry yet, and this is the best I have," she arrogantly said to us.Her hair is perfectly set, manicured nails, an

After everything that happened earlier, I just want to sleep so that when I wake up tomorrow, everything will be fine. There was food in the house, but it was just canned foods. Well, at least we're quick here. I fried corned beef while Cleo cooked rice."Do you think we can go out for a walk or something? No one knows we're here," I asked Cleo."I don't know. We can ask Brandon or Brent. I think it should be okay, but it's better to be cautious. I feel suffocated in this small house, and we can't even walk around in the yard," Cleo replied."Okay. I'll ask them after we eat."When the door opened, it wasn't the siblings who came in. It was a man I wasn't familiar with, and he had two other men with him. What's happening? Cleo quickly approached me."Gia, do you know them?" she whispered to me.I shook my head. "What's the password?"The man smiled. "I don't care about the password. You need to come with us if you want your husband to live."I knew that Corbin was with JL, so I knew h

GIAI hope they are doing much better than I am. I haven't left the office all morning. Precel is keeping me company and pretending that I have work for her when in truth, she was just trying to protect me.Cleo is not here today because her mother had a sudden doctor's appointment. I just want this day to be over and find out what we will do tomorrow.I focused on work and reviewed a lot of things. Staying in the office also had its benefits because I was able to finish a lot of tasks. I think I even finished the preparations for tomorrow.JL was told to communicate by text so that Bettina wouldn't hear anything. It's difficult to be slippery and make mistakes. Corbin's plans might be disrupted.It was around two in the afternoon when I decided to leave the office."Sofia, I am going home early and will continue my work at home. I will take Precel with me."Sofia just nodded and couldn't look straight at me. Maybe her mind is conflicted about whether the news is true or not. Well, in

GIAEVERYONE in the office was looking at me funny. Corbin's plan is now in motion. JL was walking with me and he knows the plan as well. The three of us discussed it yesterday.He held my hand and led me into the elevator. The disgusted look on some of the employees' faces is heartbreaking, but I have to stay strong. If we can prove that Kim is behind all of this, I will confront her and we will both undergo a DNA test. It is the only way to prove that her claims are false.Then maybe she can seek help. Mom helped Kim's mother, I can do the same for her.When JL and I were alone in the elevator, he kissed me on the forehead."Everything is going to be okay. Corbin sent someone named Precel. She will be your trainee so that no one suspects anything. All you have to say if someone asks is that I transferred her to you because there were no available positions in our company. Are we good?"I nodded. "I'm scared, JL."He hugged me and caressed my back. "It's going to be okay. I am here.
